Abstract
The Art Museum of Timişoara is the institution that has preserved the memory of collectors from the historical
Banat, a region from the today western Romania, by works of art acquired or donated when the Historical and
Archaeological Society of Banat was founded in 1872 in the city of Timişoara, then one of the cities within the
Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The current study deals with the art collectors in Timişoara during the XXth century and their interest for the
oeuvre of the painter Ferenczy József (1866–1925), who made studies in Budapest and Paris at the Julian Academy.
From 1901 the painter has settled down in Timișoara, becoming of one the most requested portraitist within the
city. The article presents the Museum of Banat’s acquisitions policy between the 1950s and the 1960s, during the
period of dissolution of the collections assembled between the two World Wars and the valorisation of the oeuvre
of the painter Ferenczy József through an exihibition from the year 1973 with the art works from the collections
of the poets Endre Károly and Kuban Endre, the Mühle family, the physician Eugen Schuber, and Olga Suits, the
muse of the painter Ștefan Szönyi.
